We traveled during the second week of December. I had not done a lick of Christmas shopping, so when we came home, I knew better than to start any new projects that would distract me from the things I needed to do. The shopping got done, the wrapping got done, the cooking got done, but during that time I was planning ahead for the time when I could get back to crafting.
Before Christmas, I ordered air-dry clay (several different kinds) and UV resin (and the supplies I'd need to work with it). I already had some clay and resin tools from previous undertakings. Last week, I straightened up my craft room (kinda) and spent a couple of days dabbling with the new toys to familiarize myself with the materials and identify potential pitfalls. And, of course, I discovered that I didn't have quite the right tools/supplies, hence a few more craft store runs became necessary. Yesterday, at the checkout counter at the hobby store, I told the cashier, "If you see me walk in those doors before the month is up, shoot me."
Today, a rivet gun arrived in the mail. I can't even remember why I bought it. More stuff is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I AM NOT BUYING ANOTHER FREAKING THING for a while.
I'm paralyzed, not knowing what to work on first. Last week, while I was in craft mode, ideas streamed through my head. "Oooo! I could use [this] to make [that]." And now all those wonderful ideas have vanished.
I guess I should work on the 'possum bag holder I started over the weekend. I downloaded the pattern from Etsy, but it has errors in it and I will have to go rogue to figure out how to finish it.
